Cavisonics specializes in advanced benchtop and desktop ultrasonic cleaners with a focus on high- and multi-frequency technology.
Ultrasonic cleaning is a well-established method for touch-free cleaning of surfaces
Ultrasonic waves generate low pressure regions in the water, where so called 'cavitation bubbles' form. These bubbles diffuse through the bath and 'cavitate' (i.e. implode) when they get close to surfaces. This cavitation generates energetic jets of water that are directed towards the encountered surface. This removes the contaminants stuck to the surface.
Why use different ultrasonic cleaning frequencies?
The size of cavitation bubbles depends on the frequency. Low frequencies generate fewer but larger bubbles, while higher frequencies result in larger numbers of smaller bubbles.
The energy of the emerging jets depends on the size of the bubbles. This means that low frequencies cause stronger jets that are more localized, while high frequencies yield a homogenized 'field' of lower energy jets that are finely distributed across the surface.
This means that lower frequencies are better at removing coarse dirt (think of them as the 'jack hammer' of ultrasonics), while higher frequencies are better at removing homogeneous bio- and chemical films.
A special advantage of high frequency cleaners is that their cavitation bubbles can reach into smaller features due to their smaller size.
